Chef's pro tip
A key tip for this sugar-free gingerbread cookies recipe: make sure to chill the dough long enough. It needs at least an hour in the fridge to firm up, which makes rolling and shaping easier. Plus, it helps bring out the spices' flavors. So, be patient, let the dough chill, and enjoy perfect holiday cookies!
